Hi, All, It's in the cygwin file tree, /usr/bin/dos2unix version 0.1.2. The file was a few minutes old when I tried in-place conversion. Anything is possible, regarding preserving the file timestamp even after the conversion (afterall, I think some gzip's do that). My "fix" is to use it as a filter.
